# *sigh*
I remember them.

My Walkman minidisc player was one of the best pieces of portable music kit I ever owned.

# It didn't surprise me they never took off
People like to have something fairly substantial to own. Thats why vinyl is still going.

# Yep.
I never bought any pre-recorded minidiscs. I just bought the CDs and bunged them onto minidisc to listen to while I was out.

# Ahhh, that makes sense
I was fortunate enough to have a massively cool and still-functioning walkman. My first sony! It's gorgeous.

# I would have bought one (when they were still relevant)
if only you could buy a portable one with digital in AND out.

Sony cocked that up because they were so afraid of people copying their music. the only MD recorders with digital I/O were non-portable and very expensive.
